It was the first time that the tourist Lane Michael White was detained in the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 1 after the authorities claim that they found a bullet concealed in the baggage that he brought.
The 20-year old man was supposed to be visiting the islands of Palawan along with his father and stepmother when they were prohibited to move along at the X-ray scanner of NAIA Terminal 4.
Michale White said that the security guard got the .22 caliber bullet from the pocket of his luggage. The guards repeatedly checked the bag on the X-Ray Machine.
He denied that the bullet belongs to him. He said that he has no idea how it got in his luggage. White refused to settle the amount of P30, 000. He insisted that he is innocent.
"God endured the pain when he was being whipped at the cross and if I need to be detained just to prove my innocence so be it," Micahel said.
It is not the first time that allegations about the 'Laglag-Bala' modus operandi surfaced the internet. Recently, a story was shared by a balikbayan whereas the same incident happened. He said that he paid P500 to the security personnel to allow him to depart.
OTS or Office of the Transport Security suspended the people involved in the incident while continuously investigating the incident.
